Dukkah Spice

Guests of ours recently spoilt us, with making this most wonderful spice.  They very kindly shared the recipe, which is based on the traditional Egyptian Dukkah Recipe (but better!).  This is the most Fabulous deliciously yummy spice,  I found myself sprinkling it in on almost everything, even just gobbling straight out my hand.
Dukkah spice
Ingredients:
100g  (about 2/3 Cup) Hazelnuts (or almonds)
100g  Sesame Seeds
2 Tbls (30ml) Cumin Seeds
2 Tbls (30ml) Coriander Seeds
1 tsp (5ml) Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp (5ml) Sea Salt (or pink Himalayan)
2 Tbls (30ml) Paprika
1/2 tsp (2,5ml) Turmeric
1/2 tsp (2,5ml) Cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tsp (5ml) dried ground ginger
Some of the ingredients for the dukkah
Method:
*  Heat a medium sized frying pan over medium heat.  Dry roast (without oil) the nuts, and Sesame, Cumin and Coriander seeds in the pan, stirring until a lovely golden colour  (about 7 minutes or so)
* Add remaining ingredients and mix to combine.
* Place all in a food processor and whizz until coarsely chopped.
* Adjust salt to taste
* Store in an air tight container.
* And voila - that is it.  So easy and so delicious!
Food processing the spice
Tips and Suggestions:
*  You can substitute the Hazelnuts for Pistachio nuts, or almonds
*  Add as a spice to curries, or over roasted veg.
* Lovely sprinkled over a fresh salad
* Add a pinch a chilli powder or cayenne pepper, for a bit of a bite.
* Traditionally served with crusty home bread and olive oil.
